Tomorrow: Philly-4-NOLA Shrimp Boil at Greensgrow Farms
In this week's What's Cooking, Lauren Fleming has word on a shrimp boil for a good cause. It'll be at Greensgrow Farms tomorrow from 4 to 8 p.m. (rain or shine), and tix are $30:
Chef Corbin Evans is hosting the first-ever Shrimp Boil event to support Ray Brandhurst, a seventh-generation shrimper, in his fight against cancer. A Louisiana resident for part of his life, Evans planned this event to benefit the Brandhursts as well as to celebrate the reinvention of New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina. Local favorites M�m�, Standard Tap, London Grill, Philadelphia Brewing Co. and others are donating food/drink in the form of fried chicken, bread pudding, cole slaw and beer, while Evans will prepare the main entr�e: shrimp. Tickets are $30, but they're hoping to raise a total of $5,000 for the family by selling T-shirts and raffle tickets and accepting additional donations. Greensgrow Farm, 2501 E. Cumberland St., 215-427-2702, greensgrow.org.
Quick word on the shrimp themselves: Chef Evans is shipping 100 pounds of red shrimp � not so easy to find around here � straight from Louisiana. He'll serve up the boil with the traditional red beans and rice.
Delicious food and a good cause? Count me in!
Thank you all for coming out to support a great cause and share a great meal. Oh, and get drenched see a rinbow hear great tunes and meet some people under the tents while waiting out the storm. Kind of appropriate to remind us all...
